  Do u think the missiles will be stored in SG or overseas?

  Previously,i think some AMRAAM

  stored overseas and need US approval

  to be transferred to SG soil in case of emergency.

  I know how to find out if the missiles will be stored here or overseas.

  Just ask a senior RSAF official. I am sure he would be willing to share his insight on account of your zest and zeal for military news.

  Find out and let us know ok?

   

  Knowledge must be shared.

  I think the plan was to store in Guam or something.... to be transported to Singapore in an emergency...

   

  as when the purchase was made the isn't any country in SEA that has this sort of capability.

   

  However, after RMAF bought long range missile for their MIG29, the AMRAAM was released and I would presume that they are now stored in Singapore.

  Ya... each AMRAAM comes with its own Sudoku game.  Have to solve the puzzle before you can launch it.
